# micod(8)

MICO object adapter daemon

## NAME

micod - MICO object adapter daemon

## SYNOPSIS

**micod \[options\]**\

## DESCRIPTION

The object adapter daemon **micod** is the part of an object adapter that activates object implementations when their service is requested. Moreover **micod** contains the implementation repository. To make all MICO applications use a single implementation repository you have to tell **micod** an address to bind to using the **-ORBIIOPAddr** option and tell all MICO applications this address by using the **-ORBImplRepoAddr** option.

## OPTIONS

- **--help**

  Gives an overview of all supported command line options.

- **--forward**

  This option instructs micod to make use of GIOP location forwarding, which results in much better performance (there is nearly no overhead compared to not using micod at all). Unfortunately this requires some client side GIOP features that some ORBs do not support properly although prescribed in the CORBA specification. Therefore you may encounter problems when using clients implemented using such broken ORBs. That is why this feature is off by default.

- **--db=\<database-file\>**

  Specifies the file name where **micod** should save the contents of the implementation repository when exiting.  When **micod** is restarted afterwards it will read the file given by the **--db** option to restore the contents of the implementation repository.

## FILES
